The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 102

The Last Supper 

Watching her daughter‘s leg bouncing up and down, Miss Grace smiled weakly, and then she left the chair, sat at the edge of the bed by Peach, and rested her hand on her thigh, causing her to stop. 

“I remember those days that you never wanted to leave my side...” Miss Grace said softly, and Peach looked up at her in guilt. 

“It‘s not that I want to leave now, but I want Elijah to come...” Peach whispered, pressing her teeth into her bottom lip. “Ugh, now that I have said it, I get what you mean. But mama–” 

“I am just teasing, and... Realizing that you are a woman now with a husband to go home to, and… I am happy for you, honey.” 

“I am sorry that I seem anxious to go home. I am just worried about Elijah because... Well, it‘s the Hayes, and he‘s in the middle of this chaos and I am scared...” 

“Honey, Elijah is–” 

The sound of the room doorknob turning 

startled both mother and daughter, and they turned their heads, looking at Elijah. 

“He is here for you,” Miss Grace whispered as she faced Peach, stroking her chin tenderly, before standing up and squeezing Peach‘s shoulder. 

“I feel like I should head out and give you guys a bit more time…” Elijah mumbled, staring between his wife and mother–in–law. 

With a gentle smile, Miss Grace stood and walked over to Elijah, giving him a motherly hug, saying softly,” She‘s fine and ready to go home.” 

“Are you sure?” Elijah asked, glancing at Peach again. 

Drawing back two steps, Miss Grace nodded, giving him a reassuring squeeze and a pat on the arm, saying, “You two stay strong and take care of each other, all right?” 

“Always,” Elijah said, meeting Peach‘s eyes, and they stared at each other for another moment, before Peach broke the contact, waking from the bed. 

A while later, Elijah and Peach got into the back seat of the car, and the first thing that caught her attention was all the briefcases in the front seat. She just stared, not knowing how to process the thought of her husband having ten briefcases casually sitting at the front. 

Suddenly, Elijah leaned his head on her shoulder, and that made Peach remain still, waking from her trance.
